The year is 1946. A stunned Europe is beginning its slow recovery
from the ravages of World War II. Adam Miller has come to Venice to
visit his widowed mother and forget the horrors he witnessed as a
US Army war crimes investigator in Germany. But when Adam falls in
love with Claudia, a Jewish woman scarred by her devastating
experiences during the war, he is forced to confront a Venice
haunted by atrocities it would rather forget. Beneath the
dream-like facade he discovers a city in which everyone was
compromised by occupation, not least Gianni Maglione, the suave and
enigmatic Venetian who is both his mother's new suitor and the man
responsible for much of Claudia's suffering. When the troubled past
erupts in violent murder, Adam finds himself at the centre of a
torturous web in which the most valuable thing is not a stone-cold
alibi, but the truth itself. The truth will out in this fantastic
mystery from the author of Leaving Berlin and The Good German.
